Cole Camp Creek

Cole Camp Creek is a stream in Benton County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of the Osage River arm of the Lake of the Ozarks.[2]

Cole Camp Creek most likely was named after Stephen Cole, an early settler, although folk etymology maintains deposits of coal in the area account for the name.[3] Mining equipment travel and in-stream gravel mining caused bank erosion and no flowing water in Cole Camp Creek.[4]
